Default Excess STI badging or marketing ploy?

So I don't forget what car I'm driving, on my 2010 STI I have 19 STI badges;

Front grill × 1
Rear boot × 1
Wheel centres x 4
Brake calipers x 4
Front wings x 2
Seats x 2
Steering wheel x 1
Dashboard x 1
Centre console x 1
Aluminium foot plate x 1
Strut brace x 1

Anyone else got more?

Just realised, missed 2 front sills, so now up to 21.

One on each wheel nut. 16 there alone.
24 on other car.
I'm not going to list them. I've got better things to do.

It's a shame to spoil a thread as entertaining as this, but this is getting seriously, anorakishly ****.

When purchased car in February'19, I didn't realise how many STI badges where on the car, & I imagine most people who see STI's don't realise either.

Can you imagine the design meeting when it was discussed.

I'm responsible for 2 of the badges - the strut brace & aluminium foot plate, the rest came with the car.
